Are You a Sasha Cohen fan?

Not yet, but I could become one ... I like her skating, but also her catty/"edgy" personality. She's far away from being "perfect", but she has temper and blood in her veins (... is it true she has Russian- or Ukrain ancestors? Aww, that's why!). Ladies skating desperately needs more real "types" like her!

Her mother is Ukrainian...and Tatiana Tarsova is milking it for all it's worth...

<span style="colorurple;font-family:comic sans ms;font-size:small;">She is personality PLUS on and off the ice. I love watching her gorgeous skating. BTW, she is Mr. RealtorGal's favorite skater.</span>

Sasha

I enjoy Sasha because she has so many wonderful positions and such great speed in her spins. The main thing I'd like to see from her is a greater sense of freedom...I want to see her skate with abandon and joy. She seems to be either trying far too hard or holding back. It will come together for her I'm sure and I definitely want to see that. As far as her personality goes, it has entertained me thus far. She's fiesty and confident and that will serve her well. The only incident I can recall that troubled me was at this year's Worlds. After her freeskate she made several comments about the ice conditions (ruts, etc.). She made mistakes. She should have just left it at that. Five other skaters used the same ice surface, including one right after her, and had nothing to say about it. If she can be humble and skate with undeniable heart I see myself becoming a Sasha Cohen fan in the very near future.
